Chen Fan smiled slightly and said: "They are all worthless fruits and refreshments. When we gather at Dean Lu's house, we just treat it as bringing our own food. Isn't it indecent? Dean Lu, don't be dissatisfied with the gift." The same goes for giving gifts. A subject of knowledge, especially for those who are not familiar with it, often requires asking for directions. If you give gold and silver at the beginning, others will think you are asking for something, but they will not dare to accept it. So what Chen Fan said was straightforward, it was a party, everyone had a meal together, and it was an elegant thing to say it out. If you don't accept it, it would be unrestrained. At the moment, Lu Yan did not push it away anymore, but said to the middle-aged man following him. : "Steward Han, take these people to the side yard and get them settled."
"Okay, Sir." Steward Han had a smile on his face. If Chen Fan gave him gold and silver jewelry or something, it would have nothing to do with him as a steward, but these large quantities of gadgets, the head of the house, But he won't interfere, and the power of disposal naturally falls on him. It seems that this person is different from those students who come to eat for free. Chen Fan and the others are much more pleasing to the eye.
Lu Yan led Chen Fan and Yajun into the plum garden. Unfortunately, it was not the season for plum blossoms to bloom. Chen Fan did see some elegant and unique prunes, but they did not bloom. Secondly, Chen Fan had no research on plum blossoms. They can only be collectively called plum blossoms, and no specific varieties can be distinguished, so I am not interested in the plum trees that have not bloomed. Fortunately, I am not here to appreciate plum blossoms today, and there are other flowers in the courtyard, as well as some jasper bamboos, which is not bad. The garden is full of vitality and the scenery is pleasant.
After a while, Lu Yan led Chen Fan and Yajun to a two-story pavilion. The pavilion was made of wood and had a smooth and shiny floor on the hall. There are more than a dozen desk tables. There is only one long desk desk in the first row, which is obviously facing everyone. There are five desk desks in each row from the second to fifth rows. The layout is a bit like a lecture hall, which is very suitable for Dean Lu's status. The identity of the Master. There are many mats around the case, presumably for people to sit on the ground. There is a staircase at the right corner of the entrance that leads to the second floor, and it doesn't take up much space in the lobby.
They came a little early, and there were not many people. Most of them were in the garden outside the pavilion, standing in groups of three or two, chatting quietly. Some people were sitting and playing chess. There were a lot of people in the garden. There are many small stools and square tables, and Go chess is placed on the square tables for guests to use.
The arrival of the two people still attracted everyone's attention. One of them is handsome and the other is graceful. They are both beautiful young people, so they will naturally attract people's attention.
"Dean Lu, don't worry about us. Yajun and I just sit here and take a look at the scenery." Chen Fan motioned to Lu Fan to greet the other guests and leave them alone.
"Wait a minute, Liang Xiu is here too. I'll ask him to chat with you, and then you can do what you want. When everyone is here, you can sit in the pavilion. When the time comes, Fa Sheng will also ask you to explain how to write nineteen There may be people who want to learn your chess skills, so you must be mentally prepared." Lu Xian said.
"Okay, thank you, Dean, for reminding me." Chen Fan thanked him with his hands.
At this time, Liang Xiu had already seen them and was walking towards them with the three friends beside him.
"Fa Sheng, you're here." Liang Xiu greeted from afar.
Chen Fan smiled and waved to Liang Xiu, and said to Lu Ban: "Dean, please do your work. Yajun and I can just go there."
"Okay, you young people, let's have a chat." Lu Ban nodded and went to greet other guests.
Chen Fan looked at Yajun, and the two of them approached Liang Xiu together.
"Fasheng, who is this friend next to you?" Handsome guys always attract attention. Liang Xiu was the first to ask curiously.
"It's Yajun, the guest invited by Dean Lu. I owe you and Yajun's favor today to be here as a guest." Chen Fan said that he had favored you, indicating that he already knew that you had taken advantage of "Nineteen Routes". "On" was given to Lu Yan, so Lu Yan would invite him. At the same time, he pointed out that Yajun's arrival was not to accompany him, but to be a guest invited by Lu Yan. He got to know Lu Yan through Yajun.
"Oh, it's a good chance that Fa gave birth to you. Today we are just discussing your Nineteen Paths. By the way, we can get to know you personally." Liang Xiu replied.
"Yajun, let me introduce to you. This is Liang Xiu, the one who helped me give "Nineteen Roads Theory" to Dean Lu." Chen Fan actually only knows so much. After all, he has only met him once. I told you everything I knew right away.
Silence is golden. Chen Fan found that Yajun didn't like to talk in most cases. When greeting people, he basically nodded, cupped his hands, and saluted. This time was no exception. He was polite. He nodded to Liang Xiu as a greeting.
Fortunately, Liang Xiu did not show any displeasure, and nodded and said: "Let me introduce to you some of my friends, Lu Zifeng, Dean Lu's nephew, a Go master, now at the sixth rank; Xu Chen, Shaofu Qing Xuzuo's nephew is good at classics; Shi Zhongkai, Dean Lu's favorite disciple, is also in the sixth grade."
"My chess skills are already better than my father's, but I haven't become an official yet. Otherwise, it would be possible for him to be a sixth- or seventh-rank official." Chen Fan thought to himself and said, "Nice to meet you, I'm glad to meet you today at Dean Lu's side." , it’s just an opportunity to learn from everyone.”
"Fa Sheng, you don't have to be modest. I've seen your chess skills and they are very good. It's just that you didn't take the rank test. Otherwise, I think the sixth or seventh rank would be fine." Liang Xiu replied.
"I read your "Nineteen Road Theory". Although it is a bit vernacular, the content is easy to understand and the writing is very good. Especially your three and four-way algorithms. I checked it and found it to be accurate. Come to think of it, You have also worked hard." Lu Zifeng praised from the side.
Chen Fan did not continue to be modest. Sometimes, if he was too modest, others would interpret it as a kind of pride. He immediately said: "Whether the Nineteen Roads Theory can be implemented, I hope everyone can support it."
"It's natural. We just discussed it and I think your idea is good. Liang Xiu also prepared a 19-way chess record. Let's all play chess later?" Xu Chen said next to him.
"It seems that this young master is quite approachable. The Shaofuqing is a high-ranking official of the third rank. I wonder if he also serves as a recommendation officer in addition to Shaofuqing." Chen Fan thought to himself, and then thanked him: "Thank you very much. Brother Liang and all of you are brothers." Anyway, these guys are older than me, so I immediately changed the name of Lang Jun to my brother to strengthen the relationship.
"Okay, since Fa Sheng has already called us brother, then we brothers will naturally help you." Liang Xiu said from the side.
Everyone started to get acquainted with each other, and then someone nearby shouted: "Go to the pavilion first, the dean is about to start speaking."
It turned out that the time had already arrived, and almost all the people who wanted to come had arrived, and everyone walked towards the pavilion. Chen Fan and others were naturally no exception, and entered the pavilion as soon as everyone arrived.
There were quite a few people here this time, about forty or fifty, most of whom were young people aged seventeen or eighteen, presumably students of Lu Xian. Lu Yan sat in the first row, facing the crowd. Among the twenty tables in front, more than a dozen people were already occupied. Some people were sitting on the floor, and some just took a futon and sat in the corner. Chen Fan and Yajun I plan to find a futon and sit down casually. I’m not here to be in the limelight anyway, so it’ll be nice if I can be inconspicuous.
Just because you don't want to be conspicuous sometimes doesn't mean you can't be conspicuous. Lu Fan had already seen Fasheng and Yajun, so he said loudly: "Fasheng, Yajun, come here and sit next to me."
After hearing Lu Fan's call, the people nearby motioned for Chen Fan and Yajun to go over. Chen Fan and Yajun looked at each other, somewhat helpless, and walked towards Lu Fan despite everyone's gaze.
Lu Fan smiled and motioned for Chen Fan and Yajun to sit down facing everyone. The two of them were not restrained, smiled and faced everyone, and sat on the futon in front of the table.
As everyone sat down, the hall became quiet. Lu Yan cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, welcome to this chess gathering. Some people already know about this gathering. We are going to discuss "Nineteen "The Theory of Nineteen Roads", some people may not know, what is the Theory of Nineteen Roads? Today I happened to invite Chen Fasheng, the author of "Theory of Nineteen Roads", and he will introduce to you what the Theory of Nineteen Roads is." said this , Lu Yan pointed at Chen Fan.
"In addition, we also invited Yajun, a master of piano skills. As the saying goes, playing the piano and chess brings happiness in life. You can ask Yajun for advice on piano skills." Lu Xian introduced Yajun next to him. Everyone.
"Now, Fa Sheng, please tell everyone about the Nineteen Paths." Finally, Lu Yu said to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan nodded to Lu Fan, then faced everyone and said: "Everyone, I am very happy to be invited to participate in this chess competition today. Dean Gang Lu also said that some people already know the "Nineteenth Gossip Competition" I proposed. "Road Theory", some people still don't know, so let me briefly introduce what is "Nineteen Road Theory"? As you know, the current vertical and horizontal line of Go is seventeenth road, which is developed from the previous thirteenth and fifteenth roads. , then can it continue to develop and develop to No. 19?"
Chen Fan paused here, and then continued: "The first answer is, no. Some people may think that the Seventeenth Route is the limit of our development. We have not yet thoroughly studied the Seventeenth Route. Now let's change it to Route 19 is too fast. It is true that Route 19 is more complicated than Route 17. The number of meshes alone has changed from 289 meshes to 361 meshes. It is naturally much more complicated than before. Especially the changes in the effect of the third and fourth line pieces make the chessboard more complicated. Chess players who are interested can study this for themselves, I won’t go into details." Chen Fan thought for a while and said it first. Impossible, the 19th Route does have some drawbacks. Let’s first explain the opponents’ thoughts so that these people can listen patiently.
"Then what I want to say here is that when I proposed the "Nineteenth Road Theory", I did not mean to cancel the Seventeenth Road. These people can continue to go to the Seventeenth Road, or they can explore the Nineteenth Road. There is one more choice. It’s not a bad thing.” Then, he proposed a solution to these people and told them that the new 19th Road was not to change them, but to give them one more choice. Not only did they not lose, but they gained. This is where Chen Fan's "Nineteen Paths" speech began.
